Solution : remove the up2date configuration, run rhn_register, then select the certificate at /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT Issue : When I first installed RHEL on my laptop I registered it to the Satellite I have at my house, behind a firewall. I have a problem leaving my own Satellite exposed to the Internet as if someone found it, they could poach software off the thing whenever they like. Normally having my laptop reg'd to my own Satellite is fine as I am home quite often. However, today I had a need to install telnet and I am at my office. I could open the firewall back to my house from the office, but I instead decided to register my laptop back to Red Hat since I have available entitlements. # rpm -qa | grep rhn # rpm -e rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch # cd /etc/sysconfig/rhn; mv up2date up2date.previous # rhn_register Then tell the app to use the cert located at /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT
